Entanglement and Quantum Correlations

Submitted by Web Services Editor on Tue, 04/01/2014 - 15:29

Entanglement provides a distinctively quantum type of correlation that has no analogue in classical statistical mechanics. Despite much progress, a satisfactory understanding of the nature and properties of quantum correlations in composite quantum systems, and the extent to which different kinds of correlations may be a resource for quantum information tasks is far from being reached. We are exploring fundamental aspects of quantum correlations, including a framework for describing limitations in "sharing" and "joining" quantum states and channels, as well as for generalizing entanglement theory beyond its standard subsystem-based setting.

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits of diversity— an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized. We commit to investments in both, to create a community in which difference is valued, where each individual’s identity and contributions are treated with respect, and where differences lead to a strengthened identity for all.
